Grand National win still sinking in, says David Mullins

David Mullins admits he’s still struggling to finding the right words to sum up how it feels to be one of of the youngest Grand National winning jockeys ever.

The 19-year-old steered the aptly named Mouse Morris-trained Rule The World to victory in Saturday’s Aintree spectacular and concedes the full extent of the achievement has yet to fully register.

“I haven’t found the right word for it yet but it’s still sinking in,” he said. “It’s something I couldn’t even have dared to dream of as a child going to Aintree watching the race. It’s an amazing, amazing feeling. It’s magical. I count myself as very lucky to even be riding in the race.”
